Norwich City Community Heroes 2021-22

We have been delighted to join Norwich City Football Club again this season to showcase the good work of both individuals and organisations within their local communities.

Every month during the 2021-22 season, a ‘Community Hero’ has been nominated, with their story shared across Norwich City and Fosters’ digital channels, in the matchday programme – as well as the person or organisation being invited to attend a Premier League match at Carrow Road.

This season’s Norwich City Community Heroes have represented a wealth of wonderful examples of people doing heart-warming things and championing important causes, and organisations who provide vital services and support within our community.

Congratulations to all our 2021-22 Norwich City Community Heroes!
